Work Plan (Post 3)

Hello all!

The administration has paired me up with two gentlemen, Aliou and Saikou, who are currently the electricians at the hospital. Both are very interested in biomedical engineering, the main reason why they will work with me. The work plan is as follows:

1) Assess equipment at each department taking note of location, equipment type, brand name and model number (if applicable), issues, and current status.
2) Group by equipment type and attempt to repair by trouble shooting. If parts are needed, order or make parts.
3) Have staff play an integral role in the entire process.

The WeServe program strives to provide solutions through service in both short term and long term. It is most beneficial to train and teach the staff so that they are able to repair equipment in the absence of WeServe members. Also, this is a learning process for both them and for us. By working together, we can solve the issues quickly and both parties come out with something.

Please let me know of any suggestions that you may have about my work plan.

Today, we were able to fix a couple of sphygmomanometers and 1 oxygen concentrator. I will upload pictures soon! Tomorrow, repairs will continue on the remaining faulty oxygen concentrators.

Best,

Pateh Bah (My Gambian name!)
